Abstract:

This paper gives a summary and interpretations of the results of a series of research conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau to support the development of a frame improvement system for demographic household surveys in the 2010 Demographic Surveys Sample Redesign. Coverage evaluations concluded that a household survey frame developed using the Master Address File as the sole source can provide a frame for producing comparable quality U.S. estimates and most state estimates. Coverage improvement will be needed to mitigate the risk of coverage bias in several states. The U.S. Census Bureau conducted subsequent research to identify the states that needing coverage improvements and the characteristics of the blocks that coverage improvements will be targeting. This paper will also describe the coverage improvement frame methodology for the 2010 Sample Redesign.
